Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? Younger, more beautiful, more perfect? Blake joins me this week to dissect the 2024 body horror The Substance. Demi Moore Elizabeth Sparkle jumps head first into her own downfall by creating Sue. This film is a commentary on the beauty standards for women especially as we age, and the real fear that grips us of losing our currency as the years go by. Tune into the episode to listen to Blake and I discuss how close a lot of this hit home for us.
And remember pretty girls should always smile!
Thank you so much Blake for coming on!
Please give Blake a follow!
